Ed Sheeran has proven yet again why he may just be the coolest performer to ever live after a dedicated fan got within arms reach of him on stage in Perth.

While many a star will immediately call for security and have the crasher dramatically thrown from the venue, Ed had another idea.

Guiding the stage invader by the hand, Sheeran politely told the fan ‘You’ve got to go now’, before security intervened and took the unknown man off stage.

The Divide singer, who is currently on the Australian leg of his world tour, stopped off in Perth on Saturday night for his second tour date in the country when the fan got a little too close.

Ever the professional, the Perfect hitmaker carried on with the show telling the audience ‘This is going to be the final song of the night. I need you to use your voice’ while security handled the situation in the background.

The man didn’t miss a beat!

While some fans were left angry at the incident, others took a leaf out of dear old Ed’s book and remained undeterred by the eager fan who labelled the gig as ‘The BEST CONCERT EVER!’

While Ed himself is yet to comment, a spokesperson from the Optus Stadium commented that the incident was dealt with immediately by staff and is now being dealt with as a police matter.

Let that be a lesson to all who might be looking to join him on stage uninvited – while Ed might be gentle, the long arm of the law might not take it so well.
